I had the opportunity to sit with down with Nick McWhirter or SHM Architects to explore the nuances of transitional design, the delicate dance between modern and traditional elements, and the intentionality behind every architectural choice. From furniture-driven layouts to aspirational lighting strategies, Nick shares the thought process, research, and we discuss philosophy that transform houses into harmonious, living machines. Listeners will gain insight into how design, balance, and playfulness converge to create both beauty and functionality in contemporary residential architecture.

What makes a home truly exceptional isn't just the materials or the finishes—it's the careful orchestration of space, light, and style. In this episode, Nick breaks down his approach to transitional design, revealing how subtle choices like shutter placement, dormer adjustments, or color balance can shift a home's aesthetic from modern to traditional. The conversation spans everything from lighting plans and hidden technology to furniture-first design principles and the philosophy behind architecture as a living, breathing machine.  Of course, that idea comes from Le Corbusier and his thoughts on this very subject.  We also discuss the role of photography, the tension between realism and aspirational imagery, and the evolving vernacular of form and function in modern homes. This episode is a masterclass in thoughtful, intentional, and style-agnostic design. Topics and Ideas Introduction & Context Welcome and setup: Exploring transitional design Nick's philosophy: Style agnostic but deeply researched Transitional Design: Modern vs. Traditional Subtle moves: Shutters, dormers, cut stone, and symmetry Playfulness in design: How small details create balance Color palette: Black-and-white schemes as intentional high-contrast statements Design Process & Interior Layouts Inside-out approach: Furniture-driven architecture Achieving balanced asymmetry Experimentation and editing: Knowing when less is more Lighting as a Core Component Invisible vs. visible fixtures: Philosophy of recessed lighting Lighting as both function and art Integration with technology: Wi-Fi, AV, and smart home systems Photography, Aspirational Design & Reality Balancing reality and idealized imagery in marketing Photoshop as a tool to highlight design intent How photography conveys quality of light, space, and atmosphere Form Follows Function & Architectural Philosophy Homes as “machines for living” The role of beauty and human experience in architecture Historical perspective: Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and modern vernacular Outdoor Spaces & Technology Integration Creative solutions: Two TVs on a patio LED walls and emerging tech as part of design storytelling Closing Thoughts & Personal Insights The freedom in design: Few right or wrong answers Nick's passion for music, smoked meats, and lifestyle influence Preview of future conversations and projects Thank you, Nick for the time and conversation.

Mark Feng is the chairman and CEO of Markor, a conglomerate that includes a large retail and manufacturing operation in China, as well as brands like Caracole, A.R.T. Furniture, Jonathan Charles and Rowe. Markor was founded in a remote Chinese city in 1990 by Feng's father, an artist and former interior designer. While it has grown into a sprawling international operation, Markor still retains its origins as an art-and-design-first company. Now Feng is looking to add technology into the mix with the launch of his own AI company, DecorX. On this episode of the podcast, he speaks with host Dennis Scully about the confusing state of the furniture industry today, balancing high design with commercial appeal, and why he thinks, over time, AI will transform every part of the industry.     This episode is sponsored by LoloiLINKSMarkorDecorXDennis ScullyBusiness of Home 

In this week's chilling episode, Cheryl and Nikki dive into one of Britain's most infamous paranormal cases — The Enfield Haunting.In 1977, a seemingly ordinary council house in Enfield, North London, became the centre of a supernatural storm. Furniture flew, toys hurled themselves across rooms, and a family of four were tormented by a mischievous — and sometimes malicious — poltergeist. But was this the work of the paranormal, or something far more human?Join Cheryl and Nikki as they unpick the chaos that gripped the nation — from the terrified Hodgson family to the investigators from the Society for Psychical Research who risked their reputations chasing ghosts. Along the way, they'll separate fact from fiction, uncover how The Conjuring 2 turned this haunting into Hollywood legend, and ask the ultimate question: was Enfield really haunted, or just the perfect media storm?Expect eerie happenings, questionable recordings, and a few very British ghosts of Christmas past…

In Wisconsin, some stories never die—especially when the furniture's cursed.  In 1987, the Horicon bunk bed became one of the state's most infamous hauntings. Doors slammed, radios turned on by themselves, and a family fled in terror. When the bed was finally dragged to the dump and destroyed, one listener was there to see it happen. What they witnessed marked the end of a haunting… or maybe just the beginning. A year earlier, at UW–Whitewater, freshman Joe found himself alone in a campus known for witchcraft, tunnels, and ghost stories. One quiet night, he awoke at 2:30 A.M. to a whisper in his ear: “Do you want to talk?” No one was there. The TV turned on by itself, and the silence that followed was worse than any answer he might have gotten. For decades, Joe's wondered—did he miss his one chance to speak with the dead? From a cursed bunk bed to a haunted dorm, these are Wisconsin's darkest whispers—proof that the state's ghosts don't just haunt its history… they wait for someone to listen. #ghoststory #realghoststoriesonline #WisconsinHaunted #Horicon #hauntedbunkbed #UWWhitewater #dormhaunting #paranormal #haunting #trueghoststory #supernatural #midwestghosts Love real ghost stories?

The recent developments within the furniture industry reveal a notable resilience amidst economic uncertainties, as evidenced by the encouraging attendance figures reported from the fall High Point Market. Despite a marginal overall decline, attendance from the top 300 retailers experienced a commendable increase of nearly 7%, indicating a robust engagement within the sector. Moreover, the episode delves into the implications of a preliminary truce between the United States and China regarding rare earth elements, which holds substantial significance for our industry, particularly concerning the supply chain dynamics of essential components like neodymium magnets. Additionally, the discussion encompasses advancements in logistics and the strategic integration of artificial intelligence within retail operations, underscoring its potential to enhance customer experiences while maintaining the vital human element in service. As we navigate these complexities, it becomes imperative to remain vigilant and adaptive to the evolving landscape of our industry.The latest episode of Furniture Industry News presents a comprehensive exploration of the current state of the furniture industry as of October 31, 2025, with a particular focus on the outcomes of the Fall High Point Market. The discussion begins with an analysis of attendance figures that reveal a surprising stability in market participation, particularly among the leading 300 retailers, whose attendance has increased by nearly 7%. This positive trend, juxtaposed against a marginal decline in overall attendance, underscores a notable resilience within the sector. However, the episode does not shy away from addressing the challenges posed by a 10% dip in international traffic, which may have far-reaching implications for market dynamics and global engagement.Further into the episode, attention shifts towards the financial performance of key retailers, exemplified by Havertys, which recently reported a substantial increase in third-quarter sales. The company's achievement of a 10% year-over-year sales growth, culminating in $194.5 million, signals a revitalization within the retail space. CEO Steve Burdett's insights on the strategies employed to navigate tariff challenges, including a shift in production away from China, highlight the necessity for agility and strategic foresight in a complex economic environment. Such measures are indicative of a broader trend among retailers to adapt and innovate in response to external pressures, ensuring sustained growth and operational efficiency.The latter portion of the episode delves into the implications of recent geopolitical developments, specifically the preliminary truce between the United States and China concerning rare earth elements. This agreement, while primarily focused on international relations, holds significant relevance for the furniture industry due to the critical role of these elements in the production of neodymium magnets, essential for various furniture applications. The episode articulates how this truce may mitigate risks associated with supply chain disruptions and component cost increases, thereby fostering stability within the market. As industry professionals, we are reminded of the importance of remaining vigilant in monitoring such developments, ensuring that our strategies are informed by the latest geopolitical and economic trends.Takeaways: The recent Fall High Point Market exhibited attendance figures surprisingly resilient amidst broader economic uncertainties, indicating a strong interest in the furniture sector. Despite a 10% reduction in international traffic, attendance from large retailers increased by nearly 7%, demonstrating a robust domestic engagement within the industry. Haverty's reported a significant third quarter performance, with sales growth surpassing 10%, positioning them for a potential return to...

The salient point of this discourse centers on the nuanced state of consumer confidence within the furniture industry, which has exhibited a modest decline while concurrently reflecting a degree of cautious optimism regarding current economic conditions. As reported, the Conference Board's index has receded slightly to 94.6, juxtaposed against a rising Present Situation index, which indicates that while consumers harbor concerns about future prospects, their perceptions of present job and business conditions remain comparatively favorable. Furthermore, the episode elucidates the pressing challenge of sustainability within the industry, as a mere 3% of consumers perceive furniture as a leader in sustainable practices, despite a significant willingness among the populace to invest in eco-friendly options, contingent upon reasonable pricing. As we delve deeper into the intricacies of market dynamics, we also examine the impact of artificial intelligence on operational efficiencies and consumer engagement strategies, underscoring the necessity for brands to communicate effectively without overwhelming their audience. Ultimately, this episode serves as a comprehensive analysis of the prevailing trends, challenges, and innovations that are shaping the contemporary landscape of the furniture sector.A comprehensive exploration of the current state of consumer confidence reveals a nuanced landscape within the furniture industry as of October 29, 2025. Despite a slight decline in the overall consumer confidence index, which fell to 94.6, there exists an intriguing dichotomy in consumer sentiment; the Present Situation index, which gauges perceptions of the economy, actually experienced a modest increase to 129.3. This juxtaposition underscores a prevailing cautious optimism among consumers regarding their current economic conditions, albeit with a palpable uncertainty regarding future economic prospects, as evidenced by the Expectations index plummeting to 71.5, signaling potential recessionary thoughts. Inflationary pressures remain a concern, with expectations rising to 5.9%, and a significant majority of consumers anticipate further increases in interest rates. This complex emotional landscape suggests that while shoppers are currently optimistic, they remain apprehensive about the sustainability of such sentiments in the face of looming economic challenges.Amidst this backdrop of consumer sentiment, the furniture industry grapples with its sustainability messaging. Recent survey findings from Provoke Insights reveal a stark reality; only a mere 3% of consumers perceive the furniture sector as one of the most sustainable industries, a stark contrast to perceptions of sustainability in sectors such as skincare and apparel. Nevertheless, the appetite for eco-friendly furniture is evident, with nearly 60% of respondents indicating a willingness to purchase sustainable options, albeit tempered by concerns over pricing and product durability. The data suggests that while there is a burgeoning interest in sustainability, the industry's challenge lies in effectively communicating its commitment to eco-friendly practices and overcoming consumer hesitations regarding cost and product information. Thus, the furniture industry stands at a crossroads, needing to bridge the gap between consumer desire for sustainability and the realities of market dynamics.Furthermore, as the episode delves into the impact of technological advancements, particularly artificial intelligence, on the furniture sector, it becomes evident that companies like Ashley Sleep are leveraging these tools to enhance operational efficiencies, from sales training to market analysis. AI's growing role in optimizing merchandising and predicting consumer preferences illustrates a significant shift towards more data-driven decision-making within the industry. However, it is crucial to acknowledge the irreplaceable value of human connection in...

The prevailing theme of our discussion centers on the persistent and multifaceted impact of tariffs within the furniture industry, a subject that has dominated conversations at the recent High Point Market. As we delve into the intricacies of this evolving landscape, we observe that suppliers are exhibiting remarkable creativity in response to the challenges posed by the tariff environment, thereby ensuring the continuity of business operations. Notably, consumer preferences are shifting, with an increasing demand for functionality, value, and sustainable practices influencing purchasing decisions. Domestic manufacturers are finding unexpected advantages, as tariffs have prompted a resurgence of interest in American-made goods, thereby narrowing the cost disparity between imported and locally produced items. Furthermore, we explore transformative real estate developments, such as the innovative conversion of the former Red Lion Hotel into a mixed-use space, which epitomizes the broader evolution of our industry, extending beyond mere furniture to encompass strategic real estate initiatives that aim to rejuvenate the market's very core.The dialogue presented in this episode of Furniture Industry News intricately navigates the complexities of the furniture market, particularly through the lens of the current tariff environment. The discussion commences with an examination of the pervasive influence tariffs exert on the industry, compelling suppliers to recalibrate their strategies in response to evolving consumer expectations. It is noted that while the tariff situation introduces formidable challenges, it simultaneously catalyzes a renaissance for domestic producers, thereby leveling the competitive playing field. This duality of challenge and opportunity is underscored by insights from industry leaders who recognize a burgeoning consumer preference for domestically manufactured goods, spurred by an increased awareness of sustainability and a desire to support local economies.Takeaways: The current tariff situation continues to foster a dynamic and challenging business environment for furniture suppliers. There is a notable shift in consumer preferences towards furniture that offers both functionality and genuine value. Domestic producers are experiencing a resurgence in consumer interest due to the competitive advantages presented by tariffs. The transformation of the former Red Lion Hotel into a mixed-use space exemplifies real estate's growing importance in the furniture industry.

This week's Wealth Formula Podcast features an interview with a tax attorney. While I'm not a tax professional myself, I want to drill down on something we touched on briefly that is incredibly relevant to many of you: the so-called short-term rental loophole. If I were a high-earning W-2 wage earner, this would be at the top of my list to implement—and I know many of you are already doing it. The short-term rental loophole is one of those quirks in the tax code that most people don't even know exists, but once you do, it can be a total game-changer. Here's why. Normally, when you buy a rental property, depreciation losses can't offset your W-2 income. They're considered passive, and they stay stuck in that bucket. But short-term rentals—Airbnb, VRBO, whatever—work differently. If the average stay is seven days or less and you materially participate, the IRS doesn't classify it as passive. It becomes an active business.  That means the paper losses you generate can offset your ordinary income, even from your day job. Normally, you'd need a real estate professional status to get that benefit. This is the one situation where you don't. So let's walk through how it works. When you buy a residential property, the IRS requires you to depreciate the structure—the walls, roof, foundation—over 27½ years. On a million-dollar property, that's about $36,000 a year. It's a slow drip. A cost segregation study changes that. Instead of treating the property as one block of concrete and wood, it carves out the parts that don't last 27 years. Furniture, carpet, appliances, cabinets, and even ceiling fans—those are considered 5-year property. In other words, you can depreciate them much faster. Now add bonus depreciation. Instead of spreading those 5-year assets out over five years, the current rules let you write off most of them all at once in year one. Here's the example. You buy a $1,000,000 short-term rental and finance it at 70 percent loan-to-value. That means you put in $300,000 cash and borrow $700,000. A cost seg often shows about 30 percent of the property—roughly $300,000—is 5-year personal property. Thanks to bonus depreciation, you deduct that entire $300,000 immediately. So you put in $300,000 cash, and you got a $300,000 paper loss in the same year. In practical terms, you just deducted your entire down payment against your taxable income. This is what real estate professionals do all the time and why they often end up with no tax liability at all. In this case, it works for you as a W2 wage earner. And for that reason, I think its one of the most powerful tools out there for high paid professionals that is grossly underutilized. Remember, the biggest expense for most people is the amount of tax they pay—especially W2 wage earners. This strategy lets you use money you would otherwise pay the IRS to build a cash-flowing asset for yourself.  Listen to this week's Wealth Formula Podcast to learn other ways to legally pay less tax!

The current economic climate presents substantial challenges for the furniture industry, as evidenced by a notable decline in consumer sentiment, which has reached a five-month low, primarily attributed to elevated prices and persistent inflation. Amidst these daunting circumstances, we explore how companies are not merely surviving but actively adapting through strategic innovations and diversification of supply chains to mitigate the impact of tariffs and unpredictable consumer demand. A particular focus is placed on the demographic of Generation X, which, despite comprising only 19% of the population, accounts for an impressive 31% of retail spending, thereby emerging as a critical audience for furniture retailers. Furthermore, we delve into significant industry developments, including a pivotal acquisition by GigaCloud Technology of New Classic Home Furnishings, which underscores a growing trend towards the integration of e-commerce within the traditional wholesale market. This episode elucidates the intricate interplay of economic pressures and the resilience demonstrated by industry players as they navigate a complex landscape, highlighting their innovative responses and the importance of fostering strong partnerships to thrive in these challenging times.Takeaways: The current economic climate has instigated a notable decline in consumer sentiment, reaching a five-month low, primarily attributable to high prices and persistent inflation. Despite the overarching challenges in the furniture industry, the Gen X demographic emerges as a significant driver of retail spending, accounting for 31% despite comprising only 19% of the population. Tariffs have become a pressing issue, prompting the International Home Furnishings Representatives Association to advocate for a reevaluation of the current tariff structure to mitigate instability for businesses. Companies are increasingly diversifying their supply chains to counteract tariff impacts, relocating production to various countries to enhance operational resilience and adaptability. The furniture industry is witnessing a surge in innovation, with businesses developing smaller collections tailored for urban living and a heightened focus on U.S.-made products to meet shifting consumer preferences. GigaCloud Technology's acquisition of New Classic Home Furnishings marks a pivotal integration of e-commerce and traditional wholesale, reflecting a transformative trend in the furniture market.

Here's something a little different from the usual CHP fare. It concerns a natural substance that's not too well-known outside of Asia, mainly because it's so dang expensive! Chénxiāng 沉香 or Agarwood as it's also known, grows inside the heartwood of certain Aquilaria trees. Chenxiang has a few interesting things about it and is often mentioned in Chinese literature. This episode includes a bunch of poems and a couple of chengyu's that all contain references to chénxiāng. While I was on the subject, I'm also mentioning five other trees that, while nowhere nearly as expensoive as chenxiang, were rare and precious enough to be driven to the brink of extinction. These four are Xiǎoyè Zǐtán 小叶紫檀, Hǎinán Huánghuālí 海南黄花梨, Lǎowō Dàhóng Suānzhī 老挝大红酸枝, Jīchìmù 鸡翅木, and Jīnsī Nánmù 金丝楠木.  You could have heard this episode three months earlier if you subscribed to the Official CHP Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheChinaHistoryPodcast CHP Premium: https://teacupmedia.supercast.com/ The Teacup Media Website: https://teacup.media/ Thanks to all of you for listening.

This discourse elucidates the current state of the furniture industry, characterized by a juxtaposition of growth and caution amid economic uncertainty. Notably, recent data reveals a slight month-over-month decline of 1.87% in sales for furniture and home furnishing stores, yet a year-over-year increase of 0.56% offers a glimmer of optimism. The housing market, a critical determinant for our sector, exhibits encouraging trends, with rising builder confidence and positive sales expectations, albeit tempered by a significant 30% tariff increase looming on upholstered furniture starting January 2026. Furthermore, I delve into the strategic maneuvers of prominent companies, such as Flexsteel, which, despite reporting impressive growth, remains vigilant of market volatility. This episode encapsulates a dynamic industry landscape, marked by both operational consolidations and bold expansions, as companies adapt to shifting economic paradigms while pursuing opportunities for sustained success.The intricate dynamics of the furniture industry are brought to light through a meticulous examination of recent market developments, revealing a landscape that is as complex as it is multifaceted. The National Retail Federation's report indicates a month-over-month decline of 1.87% in sales for furniture and home furnishing stores in September, juxtaposed against a year-over-year increase of 0.56%. This contrasting data suggests that while immediate challenges persist, there exists an underlying growth trajectory that may provide a foundation for future stability. Furthermore, the broader context of a 0.66% decline in total retail sales highlights the shared difficulties faced across various sectors, indicating that the furniture industry is navigating through turbulent waters alongside its retail counterparts.Delving deeper into the factors that shape the industry, the housing market emerges as a salient driver, with the National Association of Home Builders reporting an increase in builder confidence. This optimism, however, is tempered by the reality that nearly 38% of builders have opted to implement price reductions, indicating a strategic response to competitive pressures within the market. The confluence of heightened confidence among builders and their willingness to adjust pricing underscores a pragmatic approach to inventory management, which may bode well for furniture retailers in the long term as the housing market stabilizes.Moreover, corporate performances paint a vivid picture of the landscape, with Flexsteel's exemplary financial results serving as a notable highlight. The company reported a 6.2% increase in net sales and a remarkable 65% surge in net income, marking a significant achievement in a challenging market. Yet, the cautious tone from Flexsteel's leadership, particularly regarding anticipated tariff increases on upholstered furniture, illustrates the delicate balance that companies must maintain between celebrating successes and preparing for looming challenges. In contrast, some firms are actively consolidating their operational footprints, as evidenced by Wayfair's strategic warehouse closures, while others, like Rooms To Go, are boldly expanding their physical presence with plans to open new stores. This strategic divergence reflects a broader trend of adaptation and resilience within the industry, as stakeholders seek to align their operations with the prevailing economic realities.Takeaways: The current landscape in the furniture industry reflects a mix of short-term sales declines and a modest year-over-year growth, indicating underlying resilience amidst economic fluctuations. Despite the recent decrease in retail sales, the housing market displays optimism, as builder confidence rises alongside positive expectations for future sales, presenting potential opportunities for furniture retailers. Flexsteel's impressive performance, with...

This episode of Furniture Industry News elucidates the pivotal developments affecting our industry as we navigate a landscape marked by economic uncertainty and evolving consumer behaviors. The episode's salient point is the significant decline in September retail sales figures for the furniture and home furnishing segment, which reflects a broader trend of consumer caution in anticipation of the holiday season. Noteworthy among the updates is Bassett Furniture's remarkable return to profitability, achieving a net income of $801,000, a stark contrast to the previous year's losses, which underscores the resilience of certain manufacturers amidst tariff-induced challenges. Furthermore, the impending imposition of new tariffs is poised to disrupt the furniture market, compelling companies to adapt their strategies in order to mitigate adverse impacts on their operations. We delve into various responses from industry leaders, emphasizing the necessity for innovation, compliance, and a strategic approach to inventory management as essential components for enduring success in this tumultuous environment.Takeaways: The furniture industry is currently experiencing mixed retail sales outcomes, reflecting a cautious consumer sentiment amidst economic uncertainties. Bassett Furniture's notable return to profitability signifies a significant recovery, highlighting the advantages of domestic manufacturing amidst challenging tariff conditions. The imposition of new tariffs on imported furniture products is poised to create further volatility and uncertainty within the industry, affecting pricing and supply chains. Consumer preferences reveal that a substantial majority of furniture shoppers favor in-store purchases, valuing tactile engagement over the convenience of online shopping. Proactive recovery strategies are essential for manufacturers facing supply chain disruptions, emphasizing the need for immediate communication and optimized digital presence. Emerging compliance strategies are increasingly viewed as vital for fostering innovation and consumer trust, positioning companies to thrive amidst regulatory complexities.

President Trump has announced sweeping new tariffs on lumber, cabinets, and furniture — starting at 10% and rising as high as 50% by January. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down what these tariffs mean for the housing market and for real estate investors. With lumber and wood products already under strain from supply chain disruptions, higher import costs could make new construction, remodeling, and even replacement materials more expensive. Kathy explains how these new trade policies might ripple through the real estate industry — from home builders facing tighter margins to investors navigating higher property and renovation costs. Plus, we look at which countries are hit hardest, how Canada and Vietnam are responding, and what this could mean for long-term housing affordability in the U.S. JOIN RealWealth® FOR FREE https://realwealth.com/join-step-1  FOLLOW OUR PODCASTS Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast https://link.chtbl.com/RWS

The predominant focus of this episode centers on the intricate dynamics affecting the residential furniture market, particularly the notable 13% increase in new furniture orders in July 2025 compared to the previous year. However, the episode elucidates that this apparent strength is heavily tempered by underlying challenges, including tariff uncertainties and a pervasive consumer sentiment that reflects significant economic apprehension. A staggering 75% of prospective furniture purchasers characterize the current economic landscape as poor or fair, leading to a cautious approach in their buying behavior, with many delaying purchases due to prevailing economic conditions. Furthermore, we delve into the evolving strategies of major retailers such as IKEA, which aims to enhance its logistical capabilities through technology acquisitions, and Bed Bath and Beyond's efforts to revitalize its physical retail presence amid these turbulent times. Ultimately, we assess how adaptability, consumer insight, and strategic supply chain management will be critical for industry players seeking to thrive amidst this complex and fluctuating environment.Takeaways: In July 2025, new residential furniture orders experienced a notable increase of 13% compared to the previous year, indicating a potential rebound in the market. Consumer confidence remains tenuous, with over 75% of prospective furniture shoppers perceiving the economy as poor or merely fair, reflecting significant caution in purchasing behavior. The escalation of tariffs has resulted in heightened uncertainty, compelling retailers to strategically front-load shipments to avoid impending rate increases. IKEA's acquisition of Locus, a logistics AI company, aims to enhance operational agility and reduce delivery costs, thereby positioning the company to better navigate supply chain disruptions. Bed Bath and Beyond's acquisition of Kirkland's Home signifies a strategic pivot towards physical retail and diversification of revenue streams through omnichannel strategies. As we approach the holiday season, the interplay of consumer sentiment, tariff pressures, and evolving logistics strategies will dictate market dynamics, creating an unpredictable landscape.

On this episode of the Trade Guys, we look at a slew of recent tariff announcements, including on furniture, pharmaceuticals, and foreign movies. We also cover China's relinquishing of “special and differential” WTO treatment and the expiration of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

Mike Pekovich and Phil Huber join Ben to debrief their week-long woodworking tour of England—part museum crawl, part shop class, all inspiration. From London's Building Crafts College (trade-focused millwork and stonemasonry) to the Snowdon School of Furniture (studio furniture, domestic woods, and a “rip-only” tablesaw philosophy), they compare shop practices and rethink joinery workflows (tenoners, Domino, band-sawn cheeks, using the miter saw's depth stop). The trip winds through the Westonbirt Arboretum and an unforgettable boxwood deep-dive with a Baroque oboe maker, then into the V&A's technique-curated furniture gallery. In the Cotswolds, Rodmarton Manor (Barnsley/Gimson) and the Gordon Russell Museum spark lessons in design “grammar,” chamfers, and English drawer slips you'll want to steal. There's even a pub-hall turning demo with Paul Hannaby—pints included. Plus: a quick preview of next week's Woodworking in America in Des Moines and what Ben, Phil, and friends will be teaching and doing on site.
